What You’ll See in This Video
- How the hinge-top stainless-steel cover protects power in public spaces without bulky add-ons.
- Why Pedoc’s welded OEM construction lasts longer than bolt-together shells or stamped import housings.
- Real-world applications where hinge-top protection prevents tampering, moisture issues, and equipment failures.
- The engineering details that make Pedoc a preferred OEM for commercial, municipal, and campus installations.
Purpose-Built for Demanding Outdoor Environments
Because Pedoc is the OEM — not a reseller or importer — every hinge-top pedestal is built with long-term durability at the center of the design. Fully welded 304 stainless steel, precision-fit lids, and weather-rated components come together to create a pedestal engineered for heavy use and harsh climates.
- OEM Welded Construction: No loose panels, no weak seams — a single, rigid enclosure built to outlast the site around it.
- UL Listed to 1773: Third-party tested for outdoor reliability and electrical safety.
- NEMA 3R Rated: Keeps rain, snow, and debris away from live components.
- Surface Mount Design: Anchors solidly to concrete, pavers, or pads for predictable installation.
Hinge-Top Cover: Secure, Clean, and Contractor-Friendly
Pedoc’s signature hinge-top lid is designed for one purpose: protect power without complicating access. Contractors appreciate the intuitive layout; municipalities appreciate the tamper resistance; designers appreciate the clean footprint.
- Lockable Stainless-Steel Lid: Helps deter tampering and vandalism in public spaces.
- Self-Closing Action: Ensures the enclosure remains protected, even in high-traffic environments.
- In-Use Cord Door: Allows cords to remain plugged in while the lid stays securely closed.
- OEM-Level Fit & Finish: Precision hinge alignment and gasketed protection for long-term reliability.
Installed Where Reliability Matters
Pedoc hinge-top pedestals are often selected by specifiers, contractors, and municipalities that can’t afford failure — or callbacks. Stainless-steel construction, clean aesthetics, and predictable mounting make these units ideal for high-use public spaces.
- City parks, plazas, and civic event spaces
- University and corporate campuses
- Transit stations and pedestrian corridors
- Pop-up retail, vendor zones, and temporary events
Why Pedoc — The OEM Difference
Pedoc isn’t a catalog company. We engineer, weld, assemble, and support every pedestal from our facility in Mt. Prospect, IL. That means consistent quality, real technical support, and the ability to customize designs when a project calls for something specific.
- Made in the USA: Built and supported by a U.S. manufacturing team with 45+ years of metal-fabrication experience.
- OEM Engineering: Purpose-built housings designed to survive the environment, not just pass a spec sheet.
- Consistent Build Quality: Welded construction, tight tolerances, and durable coatings.
- Configurable: Multiple heights, finishes, and device layouts to meet project requirements.
